Hey girl, welcome to the Empower Her podcast where we are all about taking purpose-driven

action toward building lives we really freaking love.

My name's Keisha and I'm an entrepreneur obsessed with giving you actual tools to help take you from where you are now

to where you want to go in your life, career, and relationships.

And this podcast, it's all about real talk and having some fun as we share incredible stories,

tips, and tricks to help us get out of our own way and unapologetically make some moves. So girlfriend,

let's do the damn thing. What's up? I'm so excited that you're here for today's episode because

and like an unsettling, like, uncomfortable feeling in your body that is totally normal and

does not mean that you're not capable, does not mean that you didn't make the right choice.

It just means that you're experiencing what's required for you to really grow and evolve. So whether you are, you know, changing career paths altogether, or you're starting

a brand new job or a new role within a company, or you're starting a new business or a podcast,

or you're creating a new offer, or you're moving to a new city, you're getting into a new

relationship. Actually, I was just talking to a girlfriend this morning who's in a brand new relationship that she's like, oh my gosh, my nervous system

can not handle this because I'm so excited and he feels so different than other guys that I've dated.
